Volcanoes and eruptions are a fascinating and very interesting subject and the Smithsonian Institution (see Data section below) provide a well maintained and updated database open to the public and researchers.
This dashboard has been created as part of a data science / analytics portfolio (see github repository for code from link on top right of page). The aim of the repository is to practice visualisation with Flexdashboard on open source data.
The data from Smithsonian Institution are available for use with the CC0 1.0 Universal licence and follow the Smithsonian term of use available at https://www.si.edu/termsofuse
